Ready to take a deep dive into the natural world? Philadelphia artist Meg Lemieur is teaching 4 classes that will heighten your senses and sharpen your note-taking and sketching skills. Classes are all on Saturdays and are scheduled, rain or shine, for 9/19, 9/26, 10/3, and 10/10. Drawing from the practice of Nature Journaling, these classes teach observational tools that will help you record the wild world around us. Utilizing our inner scientist, writer, and artist, we will learn to capture the intricate details we find. These four classes will provide an encouraging and supportive atmosphere to learn the tools and techniques for observing, recording, and sketching our surroundings at Glen Foerd. Each class will explore a new area and is great for all experience levels. Classes will build on each other, but you can also sign up for one at a time.
